I can’t see how selling off Encore (even with a CPA) makes sense? Part of their recruitment draw is the One List - without that, then salaries are going to have to go up to attract and keep people. Keep the one list, and sell Encore leads to huge training bills at the subsidiary...where’s the upside?

Y’know, boys and girls, I think that this thread has just about run its course. We are straying further and further from the how and why of this happening into incivility; insults and hurt feelings are going to follow. Let’s just wait until the (Interim?)report comes out - there’s got to be more to ...

Yes, glasses, contacts, prescription sunnies, etc., are a pain in the ass, but that’s a small pain compared to losing your livelihood by being the person who has one of the medical-invalidating side effects of the surgery.. Considered it since the beginning of my career, 25 years ago, but still peer...

Sum Ting Wong, and Ho Lee Fuk? Does it really matter? They’re alive, and will live to fly another day.. Say it comes out now that it was John Smith, and Fred Jones, and the narrative is that ‘they f@cked up, and wrecked a plane’ - a label that would stick with you for the rest of your career - and t...

That depends on the pilot. As i am sure CWE would agree, Any seasoned northern pilot will have an internal "almanac" revised with yearly weather conditions with respect to ice in and ice out in local areas AND will also instinctively know the basic depth and condition of ice by its colour, reflecti...

Looking for some real advice and not philosophical BS. F**K you and the horse you rode in on! Ask more than a nebulous question, and you'll get more than philosophical answers. What *is* an ideal aviation career? It varies from person to person: 'Auto-doze' long haul to exotic destinations, or hand...

Is anyone ‘stuck’ anywhere any more? Especially relatively wealthy westerners with decent intelligence and Visa cards. More like the guys are waiting out their rotation, still collecting a cheque, and waiting to see what will happen with their jobs.

I think that’s the whole point, isn’t it? Make carbon-intensive things more expensive so that we do less of them. If we still wish to to continue, then the market should figure out a cheaper way of doing things.

Kinda makes you wonder about the dictates of supply and demand, though? I'm no economist, and I'm sure that there are lots of other variables, but were the border to open, would the flood (trickle?) of Canadian pilots serve to increase the supply enough down there that demand, and thus salaries woul...

Not sure how cadet programs would help wages in general? You’re essentially creating a group of indentured slaves to XYZ Air - they’re on the hook for several years of debt repayment, so no real incentive to pay more than basics. Also, you could give them a form of Stockholm Syndrome - p-poor pay fo...

I wonder if this decision will change being able to do float training/ratings on Quamichan Lake? Years ago when the rowing team moved to Elk Lake, there was a Cub? on Elk that subsequently moved concurrently with the powerboat restrictions. Yes, there is lots of other water around, but given the pro...

You are correct, but that refers to having multiple names at the same time, and using them in opposition to/conjunction with each other. NewWeedCAACMan just seems to be changing his handle quite frequently. It’s annoying, agreed, but not against the rules. And, it’s not like he’s difficult to figure...

Or maybe it's time to just leave this forum once and for all since the moderators don't seem to give a shit. Do what you're doing on literally any other forum gets you IP banned. This site is falling apart and has been for the last few years. Whoa, nelly! Steady up there, Lightchop. Google ‘The Ten...

I wonder if the moderators can ban him just for being a tool. He needs help and this forum is getting overrun with his crap. It’s not even worth reading posts anymore. Soon as he posts, people sign off. .80, JTrain, George, and lost: once you’ve signed in, click on the down arrow next to your usern...

Wings Over Kississing has been bought. That's not 100 % accurate according to some guys that work there. EIC purchased one hangar and three airplanes. From the guys that still work there, it will be normal operations going forward. This was apparently done in anticipation of the changes coming with...
